I haven’t stitched in weeks. I was trying hard to finish 6 bats and a black cat before the end of the year but I just got so busy, It’s getting close though.

I ended WIPocalypse 2013 with 8/17 done. I’m not real happy with that. I tried but feeling forced to work on something just…got old.

I made a list for WIPocalypse 2014, but I deleted it. I’ve decided I am not going to do any challenges in 2014. Instead I will stitch what I want, and stitch for the process not the end result or some goal in mind. Just to enjoy it. I would like to get Fire Goddess and Japanese Garden done, but we will see.

Here is some highlights of 2013

I made great progress on Japanese Garden. It’s so close to being done.

I finished a few pages of Dragonflies Whisper, my HAED.

I framed quite a few pieces that I finished stitching in 2012.

I did a quick valentine’s piece, that I really adore.

I did this one for my mom. I’m so proud of it.

I also finished stitching a few pieces that I have not yet finished.

Although I did a terrible job of posting monthly on TUSAL, I did add to my vase throughout the year. Here is where I ended up.
